Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 16, 1995.
    Take notice that on October 10, 1995, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket 
No. CP96-20-0000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.216) for authorization to abandon a meter station and related 
facilities located in Brazoria County, Texas, under FGT's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-553-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    FGT proposes to abandon the meter station, located on FGT's 22-inch 
line in Brazoria County, which was installed in 1980 under Commission 
authorization in Docket No. CP79-471. It is stated that the meter 
station was installed in order for FGT to make deliveries of up to 
3,000 MMBtu equivalent of natural gas per day to Natural Gas Pipeline 
Company of America (Natural). It is explained that Natural's 24-inch 
mainline is located near FGT's facilities, and in Docket No. CP79-479 
(in a joint order with CP79-471) Natural was authorized to construct 
approximately 1,300 feet of 3-inch pipeline to connect the two 
companies' facilities. It is asserted that FGT's transportation 
service, also authorized in the joint order, was abandoned by 
authorization of the Commission in Docket No. CP83-13-000, because 
Natural's gas supply had been depleted. It is stated that the meter 
station would have required costly repairs and maintenance expense to 
be operational and that neither company could justify the expense. The 
request includes a letter from Natural stating its concurrence with the 
abandonment.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
